318 heads

In all seriousness, IF I wanted a Chrysler small block for mileage, I'd choose the early "supposedly" 9.2:1 318, blueprint it TO 9.2:1 because we all know they were actually much lower and build it stone stock with a thermoquad and some Summit headers. BAM, I just gave you the recipe for a 20 plus MPG small block. With ease.


The "late" 318 LA roller engines are already pretty darn close to their advertised 9.2:1 and they already have 302 heads and a roller cam setup.
